Star8turtle, 63

Recently relocated for a wonderful job I love. Have a daughter in college currently still living at home, and have pets. I work, go to the gym, and go home. I am 48 but no one ever believes me and was recently told I don't look old enough to have a kid out of of school. Am getting back to normal after a few tough years of accidents followed by surgeries and am looking for a friend with possible benefits later, and adult conversation. Not interested in booty calls or random dates, and have been told I am "too independent" more than once. I am originally from Western NC, and the classic "My grandma was Cherokee" applies. I grew up spending summers on the farm with her, had friends in the area growing up. I love the beach, pow wows and music.
